I have only found (so far) one wedding date announcement mailed to me AND my husband from my cousin in the States in March, 2007. (Date shown stamped on the front of the envelope.) I will include it and whatever other random pieces of early mail with everything. I will also attempt to get in touch with my old GP (I moved like I mentioned, so I am no longer registered with the first GP) about perhaps writing a letter and me going in later to fetch it...
It's nearly 2am and I am absolutely burnt out. Will rise very early to continue...
If getting a proof postage, recorded delivery on Jan. 7th, even though my visa expires that date, is okay, then I will do as much as humanly possible tomorrow to cover/make-up for the lack of official mail on hand from the early months of living here... and just hope for the best. Not much else I can do... but I will certainly try my best. I have a good job with the NHS, and I love my life with my husband, and I just don't want to run into any problems that could affect anything I have going on here now.
